Snow??

It snowed yesterday. What the heck.

The Merging of the Blogs

Okay, so it's not a total merge--we will probably still keep our individual ones, or at least Andrew will--but, I just wanted to announce that the soon-to-be Garlock family blog is up and running! Only 23 days and it's official.

So, check it out here--drewandelle.blogspot.com.

Hope everyone is well! :)

Making My House a Home

So, this weekend I had a bridal shower, thrown by my wonderful sister, Kristin--and practically doubled my collection of kitchen and household items for our new little place! Andrew's mom and grandma came into town, some of his aunts and cousins came, lots of my cousins and friends came, and it was great to see everyone. It was weird to have it be all about me...but that makes me happy because it means the wedding really is close!! I am so excited--38 days--and yes, I am counting down now :) Anyway, here are a few great items I got at the shower:

Lovely maple rolling pin. Andrew will use this to make his amazing rolls!

My creamy yellow mixing bowls from my mom. Love them!

All-Clad Measuring cups and spoons. These things mean business.

Our dinner ware! It's so beautiful and chic. Also love it. From Andrew's grandma!

Amazing flatware from Andrew's other grandma

Other favorite gifts included a cute nightgown--not lingerie!--from Kate and Summer, a toy ant from my soon-to-be neices and nephews, cute bathroom towels, a mini croc-pot, some pie pans, and more. So thanks again to everyone that came!

Our Little House

Andrew has blogged some pictures of the inside of our house. He did a much better job than I can, so you can check them out at his site here!

Fun Weekend

This weekend was a nice and much needed break from the already enormous stress that is school! I went to lunch Friday with my old roommate Camille, and ran into her at the football game!Andrew and I watched the Cougars rip apart UCLA. The game day was beautiful and it was fun to see the place all crowded and hyped up. I need to buy a BYU shirt for the next game! I'm such a bad fan.

Then, Saturday night we went to a concert behind the new Spoon Me frozen yogurt shop here in Provo. A band that I liked in high school, Rooney, played an awesome show. It was weird to be in such a large group of single people again...it's been a while since that has happened! And I'm happy to say I'm very excited to be getting married :) Hope you all had a good weekend, too!

I like this boy

Okay, so our engagement pictures came out sooner than I was expecting and you can check 'em out on Matt Clayton's blog. They are adorable--and we've got about 100 to choose from!--and I am so excited that the wedding plans are finally moving along! Only 50 days. Not that I'm counting :)

Extra, Extra!

Just a couple of exciting news tidbits from my life:

#1: Andrew and I got our engagement pictures taken this past weekend. It was so fun and I think they're going to turn out great! Matt Clayton was our photographer--he is amazing, and you can check out his stuff here. I'll post once the proofs are here.

#2: I just found out that I was chosen for another scholarship! I am ecstatic. Beyond ecstatic. I can't even say how grateful I am! It came at a much needed time...alleviated some of my worries about getting married, and motivated me to try more in school.

So, I am in a very grateful mood today and just wanted to share that. Hope all is well :)
